I know it's kind of useless to ask things like this, but I'll do it anyway.
I'm going to get a mic to record vocals and possibly acoustic guitar. And that's it. I was looking at the Rode NT1000 which I've only heard good words on, seemed like a very good mic for a decent price. But now there's a used AT4033 floating around which I can grab for about $80 less than a new NT1000, and the price for the AT4033 would include a shockmount... although that is something I hear is not really necessary with the NT1000?
Which would you get out of these two? Should I spend some more money and get the NT1000 or should I grab the chance I have to get the 4033? I know they are both good mics, but are they very different, and if so, in what ways? I haven't heard any of these mics personally so input from anyone who's use both would be invaluable!
I hate making decisions. I always seem to end up making the wrong ones.
I'm going to record a male singer with a somewhat bright and *slightly* nasal voice (not me, I can't sing).
